Seeing meaning in the chronology of my complete Bible readings

The chronology of my complete Bible readings and its meaning can be read like this:

I started in 1988. This was the: "I'm just reading it as literature, OK? I'm not becoming a Christian!!!" Yet at the same time I had been listening to a Bible teacher and had been 'hooked'...

Then I didn't read the Bible complete again until four years later. Yet this second complete reading was a very serious, and disciplined reading. It was relatively fast too. About 90 days, if I recall. I approached it differently. I was engaging something I took to be above me. Not that the 1988 reading was of an opposite nature, but it was the initial, let's see what this is all about, reading.

Then I read the Bible complete again three years later in 1995. This time I started it on one of those electronic devices (KJV), and was my introduction to the high cost of batteries for little electronic devices (at least in 1995). The batteries went dead somewhere in Isaiah, I bought new ones, they went dead somewhere in Ezekiel, so I finished the reading using an old-fashioned actual Book.

So, those three complete readings described above were really associated with my regeneration and aftermath. Conversion really hadn't yet happened because I happen to know I didn't have a driving desire to learn doctrine yet. I was involved in Work (Fourth Way) ideas, practices, and goals all through that period (beginning in 1992), which was my doctrine. (Also, though, all the "lost tweleve tribes" and similar material Arnold Murray presents in his unique and more on-the-mark than is usual for that realm of material way.)

Then... Around 2003 I began to get interested in a big way in learning orthodox, biblical doctrine. And I began to read the Bible complete again (in 2004). Nine years had elapsed from my last complete reading. This period commenced my conversion period.

I next read the Bible complete, as stated, all through the year 2004. This was in the midst of learning the most hardcore, biblical doctrine, i.e. Calvinism; Covenant Theology; Federal Theology, etc.

Then in 2005 starting in August I set a goal to read the Bible complete in 60 days. I finished in 66 days. My fifth complete reading. It was hard on my eyes. I averaged 20 chapters a day.

Then starting in January 2006 I began my sixth complete reading of the Bible, and it was slow-going to the point that in March 2007 I was still in the Book of Joshua, yet the reading is still commencing.

What can be seen above is the conversion phase of my Bible reading tracks with me now reading the Bible complete basically once a year. No big gaps of four or nine years in-between.

Yes, by the way, I'm old. I wouldn't be on a computer so much if I wasn't. I'm in the thirty-ish-forty-ish range. OK, more towards the later, but not in the upper-half of the latter. Still, when I see what I've been doing not only from 1988, but all the period before that (which was my "climbing the mountain of B Influence" period) and the period before that period (which was my atheletic, music period) then it looks productive and valuable. Time well spent and experienced. Actually, blessed. Privileged. By the grace of God. In the Kingdom of God...
